In the article “Peer Response: Teaching Specific Revision Suggestions” it explains the different revision strategies, the problems and correct ways to revise a peers writing. It also shows the PQP technique which stands for praise, question, and polish. I personally like this technique and think that it would really help the people who are revising their peer’s writing work. It starts with praise which I think is a good strategy so you ease the writer that way they are at ease when you start to talk to them about what they did wrong in their paper. The second part is to ask question about something in the writer’s paper that you don’t understand, then the final part which is to polish the writer’s paper which is the revision part of the PQP technique you explain and write down what mistakes the writer made with their paper and give them tips and ideas on how to help fix their paper. The reason this is a good technique is because most inexperienced revisers tend to revise their peers’ papers wrong and tend to make the writers feel bad because they didn’t do it right.
